| After waiting almost 3 months..finally got my 22 upper...mounted it onto my RRA lower..went to the range and....had all kinds of ejection problems from the very first shot fired.....cleaned after each shot as directed..shot hollow and solid high velocity ammo......got to call them (DPMS)in the morning.....any input would be greatly appreaciated.... |
| I would not think you would have any problems, as it uses the Colt 22 kit in a modified form (ring instead of chamber adapter), which for the most part was great, 2 extractors, solid ejector on top of the mag. I have found that the goofy cut AR hammer inteferes skightly with bolt cycle, suspect the M16 hammer with its rounded top (just be sure to cut the lug off the tail) provide smoother cycle. Maybe the chamber is tight/not cut cleanly? |
| I spoke to the guys at DPMS..(they seemed very sympathic)..they said it might be the mags....so I'm going to clean them up...give the upper a good scrubbing and try it again later this week with different ammo...he suggested Federal...I was using Winchester. If the problem persists...they want the upper back for testing.....he also said that they have a new bolt configuration in the works.....maybe there is a problem...?????I'll keep you all posted. |
